Itzpapalotl Goddess Mural

This mural stopped me in my tracks – 3D elements, gorgeous vivid colors, and a powerful character who turns out to be Itzpapalotl, the Aztec goddess of birds and fire. Interestingly, there is also a Christian symbol of Virgin Mary in the center. Unfortunately, I could not make out the name of the artist beyond “Colette”. It is located in San Francisco’s Castro district, near 16th and Sanchez streets.
